Diablo 3 to Offer Experience and Gold Bonuses for Halloween

Diablo 3 has been one of the bigger releases in recent years. While it hasn't really carved out a legacy for itself in the same way its predecessor did, the series' third entry is still an amazing feat in game development. Diablo 3 passed the veritable Blizzard test of crushing sales records on day one and very few of us were surprised.

At any rate, Halloween is here. The spirits of the dead and destructive will walk the plane of the living tonight, terrorizing any who might cross their path. With that said, you know what might be a pretty good idea? Staying home and playing some video games for the evening. You don't need all that sweet candy anyway…

Blizzard Entertainment will be offering players a special deal for gamers playing Diablo 3 during Halloween. All day today until November 3, you will be able to get a 100 percent bonus to gold find and experience gains. If you have a character that needs some leveling or new equipment, this would be the perfect time to jump in game and start grinding towards your goal(s). Note that you don't have to worry about which platform you're playing on, as this event is open to everyone.

Here's an official note from Blizzard, taken from their post on the subject matter:

*For PC, the buff will start and end at the noted times in each gameplay region according to its local time zone (PDT/PST for the Americas, CET for Europe, and KST for Asia). For console, the buff will start and end in all regions at the same time, listed above. For time zone assistance, click here.
